After months of laboring, Sargent produced the racier version of Madame X. most fascinating woman," he would secure his artistic acclaim. ![]() She met young John Singer Sargent, a "fellow upstart American," who imagined that, by painting Paris's "most original. Born to Creole New Orleans aristocrats in 1859, Virginie Amelie Gautreau moved to Paris with her family following her father's death, married an older man made rich by the fertilizer trade and cultivated a beauty that, even in fashion-frenzied Paris, earned her widespread fame. ![]() ![]() Davis has worked as a story editor and analyst for most of the big film companies, and here seeks the woman behind Sargent's most celebrated, enigmatic profile. John Singer Sargent's portrait Madame X has hung in the Metropolitan Museum of Art for decades, following its scandalous debut in the Paris Salon in 1884, and subsequent retouching of the work to restore the dangling dress strap to the figure's impossibly white bare shoulder. ![]() ![]() ![]() A life that doesn’t include playing board games and late night bedtime stories. I went to her party to watch over her, to celebrate the passage into her adult life. In one night I’ve cast aside all my morals, along with the trust of her father, to bathe in my own darkest desires. My 20 year friendship to Roger, be damned. No, Haley is innocent, pure, untouched, and everything inside me wants to own her. Tonight was her party to celebrate her graduation, her turning into a woman, but those big blue eyes looking up at me with all the need and want of a young girl tells me she isn’t as inclined to grow up as her father would like to think. What I need most in the entire world is in the next room, tied to my bed, covered in my cum.

Whereas Every Other Day was strongly influenced by the field of evolutionary biology, The Naturals is based largely on research in cognitive science and criminal psychology. Like EVERY OTHER DAY, THE NATURALS has a variety of female characters (including one who, like Bethany, appears at first to be a pretty unlikely ally and another one that I think would get along really well with Skylar…). It is also about a special unit in the FBI! In this case, it’s a unit that uses highly intelligent teenagers to profile and catch serial killers. That said, if you like the idea of Kali (SPOILER ALERT for EOD…SPOILERS AHOY…) working with the FBI in a special unit devoted to preternatural crime, you might ALSO enjoy my new book, THE NATURALS, which comes out in November. I always meant for it to be a standalone, and for that last chapter to jump-start readers’ imaginations about what Kali’s future might be like. The book ends with Kali’s high school graduation, and you get just a hint at what her adult life might be like.
